Hard to sell my Klipsch Heritage Speakers for a possible Harbeth upgrade.

I have both Chorus 2s and Cornwall with Bob Crite upgrades.  I was contemplating selling my Chorus 2s and decided to hook them up - LFD integrated AMP with phono stage, Crimson Audio cables, Schitt DAC and Thorens TT.  I am amazed how well the Chorus 2's sound.  Long term I plan on selling both the Chorus 2s and Cornwalls to fund a Harbeth purchase.  However, when I hook up these speakers I get cold feet.  Can the Harbeths really sound that good?

I have friends over and they think I am crazy.  And I have to tend to agree.  I cannot find a music genre that doesn't sound good through these speakers. 

As far as what I like better?  Hard to say - some days it is the Cornwalls and others the Chorus 2s.

I like the Cornwalls too.  I've always had a weakness for tube amps and horns.

My horns are in storage now.  Maybe someday I will fix them up and use them, but I currently do not have the space.

I'm using the Harbeth P3esr speakers now, and I think they are great!

Note:  I did not need to drink any Kool-Aid.  I walked into an audio store and listened to them.  I went back a few times and listened to them again with a few of my CDs and records and I ordered a pair.  I listened to a lot of speakers before I bought the Harbeths.  I like the way they sound.  I learned about Alan Shaw and the "cult" of Harbeth after I had the speakers in my home.
